IV. NEW ENGINE PREPARATION AND ASSEMBLY

1. In this step you will change the torque converter and converter housing on the transmission to the parts

listed in the Bill of Materials (BOM). Refer to the factory service manual for proper procedure and torque

values. Failure to follow proper procedures and torque values may cause transmission damage.

If you are unfamiliar with the processes and procedures for disassembling and re-assembling an auto-

matic transmission, we recommend having a qualified transmission technician perform these steps.

Improper torque converter depth may cause damage to the transmission.

DO NOT draw sub-assemblies together with bolts. All components should be completely seated before

installing bolts.

2. Reinstall transmission mount using the new hardware and spacers provided in the JK Hemi Mount W/

A580, and torque to 40 ft/lbs (fig 14).
